When mine was SVAd, the tester (Dave at Chadderton) mentioned my column clampbolt wasn't locked. I told him it had loctight like every Ford on
the road and he passed it but said it might be worth sticking a lock nut on the end just for peace of mind.

Bias bar - no threads protruding from bolt
Steering column extension bolts - looks bad with the cut off nut. Can't you reverse to make it look better?
Diff. bolts - way too long and not secure.
Camber locknuts - Not secure and no thread protruding from nut.
Wheelnuts - longer studs required as no thread protruding from nut

Hi
I think this is an excellent post - it has prompted constructive criticism based on the informative photographic content and will assist others in the
future I'm sure.
Agree with the comments on the wheel nuts, (getting longer studs), and the steering column joint can be better sorted by the use of spacers and longer
bolts rather than grinding down nylocs, (my opinion).
Regards Mick

Nice comment, 'Mr Mix with the lips'  - thank you.
After a bit of agonising - time running short etc, and taking the collective advice from you guys on here, I have gone and changed the 40mm studs for
some 63mm ones would have been better in - between but the only other size I could find was a 47mm - not really enough.
Picture?
Naturally. Bit long now - do you think it might be a problem tomorrow? ( retest at 2:30 ).

Don't worry, it'll be eaten long before the IVA man sees it!
